Abstract
Azathioprine (AZA) is a widely used immunosuppressive which when not monitored cautiously can lead to life-threatening complications like myelotoxicity. In resource-limited countries, acute hair loss starting as early as 2 weeks after drug initiation can be used as a surrogate marker of impending AZA-induced myelotoxicity.
